Glitch flopped back unceremoniously onto the bed he had been given in the castle. It had been less than a day since the defeat of the witch and the rise of light for the O.Z. He closed his eyes and immediately opened them. If it had been less than a day, he could still be scared right? He curled on his side, the problem with glitching, is that you could be scared and not know why. He curled in on himself. He should sleep. He would never feel any better if he didn't sleep.
Then again lately nothing had mad him feel better. His head hurt he curled under the covers. And thought. He was a prisoner of his thoughts most of the time. He closed his eyes and thought about winning and what it meant, he could have his brain back. Couldn't he? He lay his head back and cleared his half a mind. Eventually a long while latter he was asleep. Not peacefully but asleep.
Glitch was running
He didn't know what he was running from but as he was running he fell and turned.
The...thing was terrible.
"No one will save you now!" it bent to his ear. "Not even your tin man or little girl not even that lion wants you!" it hissed it was giant and it tore into him like he was made from straw. And it hurt, it hurt so much Glitch would never have thought that this was a dream.
The thing tore and tore until there was nothing left of Glitch to even scream. He heard his screams though. Thats when he realized that he was truly a prisoner now. The ...thing had taken his body so he was just thoughts and pain floating in the wind. And all he could do was scream in pain while no body could hear him.
"Zipperhead!"
Cain?
"Up! Your dreaming!" how could he tell Cain he was dead. It made him worry. Then he felt a firm and gentle hand on his shoulder. "It's just a dream sweetheart." sweetheart? "Come on head case. You can do it pull out and pinch yourself. Glitch gave one long scream and sat up
Right into Cain their heads bumped and Glitch feel onto the bed. He looked up Raw had one hand on his arm and another on Cain's. DG was also there.
"Glitch?" he blinked then shut his eyes "you screamed so loud metal head here thought you must be being attacked." He heard a light sound and protest from Cain, DG must have hit him
"I was."
"what do you mean?"
"I was being attacked." He felt a steady hand on his shoulder.
"It was just a dream headcase. You can go back to sleep now."
"Cain! It's almost breakfast time! He can't sleep the whole day away." DG protested.
"He needs it DG look at him." Glitch certainly felt like he could sleep the day away.
"He also looks like he needs food." Which was also probably true Glitch often forgot to eat, or just began and got distracted, or glitched in the middle of it and forgot how. He wasn't sure if he had eaten at all while on their adventure.
"I'll make him up a plate and bring it to him." Cain waved her off. DG reluctantly agreed. And they all filtered out, Cain went last laving Glitch with a promise to be back with food and the words "Sleep well" and a gentle pat.
